♦️Cyclone: NIVAR
About Cyclone
▪️ Cyclone is a system of low atmospheric pressure in which the barometric gradient is steep.
▪️ Cyclones represent circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth.
▪️ The inward spiralling winds in a cyclone rotate anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth.
▪️ Most large-scale cyclonic circulations are centred on areas of low atmospheric pressure.
▪️ General factors responsible for the origin of Cyclones in Bay of Bengal region are;
▪️ Large sea surface with temperature higher than 27° C.
▪️ Presence of the Coriolis force enough to create a cyclonic vortex.
▪️ Small variations in the vertical wind speed.
▪️ A pre-existing weak low-pressure area or low-level-cyclonic circulation.
▪️ Upper divergence above the sea level system.

♦️Kaladan project
✅ The Kaladan project connects SITTWE PORT in Myanmar to the India-Myanmar border.
✅ The project was jointly initiated by India and Myanmar to create a multi-modal platform for cargo shipments from the eastern ports to Myanmar and to the North-eastern parts of the country through Myanmar.
✅ Significance: It is expected to open up sea routes and promote economic development in the North-eastern states, and also add value to the economic, commercial and strategic ties between India and Myanmar.
✅ This project will reduce distance from Kolkata to Sittwe by approximately 1328 km and will reduce the need to transport good through the narrow Siliguri corridor, also known as Chicken’s Neck.
✅ Sittwe is the capital of Rakhine State (which has been in the news for the plight of Rohingya Muslims) in south-western Myanmar. It is located at the mouth of the KALADAN RIVER, which flows into Mizoram in north-eastern India.
